Beyoncé Billboard’s Women Of The Year
Beyoncé awarded Billboard’s Women Of The Year Award at the 2009 Billboard Women In Music Event on Oct. 2 in New York City. Over the past 12 months Beyoncé inspired the music business with her success, leadership and new ideas. This year alone she has been on several magazine covers and ad campaigns. Beyoncé world tour “I Am…” estimated gross was $36 million. The tour also showcased Beyoncé’s philanthropic side as she gave 2,500 tickets to families affected by the auto industry crisis in Detroit and joined forces with General Mills Hamburger Helper and Feeding America to deliver 3.5 million meals to local food banks.
“Beyoncé is a multi-platinum artist and a multi-talented woman who clearly embodies the qualities of excellence and achievement that the Billboard Woman Of The Year Award was created to honor,” said Bill Werde, Billboard’s Editorial Director, about Beyoncé, who is the only performer in the 51-year history of the Billboard Hot 100 to top the chart for 10 weeks or more with a group and as a solo artist. “She has not only influenced pop culture with her hit songs and signature dance moves, but has inspired women everywhere with her unique style, business savvy and dedication to charitable causes.”
